Stage 4 - 32.5 km ITT Report and Results; 2013 Critérium du Dauphiné

Today’s stage 4 individual time trial is a flat
32.5-kilometer long course.

Stage 4 Time Trial profile

Team Net App-Endura’s Jan Barta set an early best time, but
was then bested by Jonathan Castroviejo of Movistar. World TT Champion Tony
Marrtin (OPQ) finished with a time of 36:54. He rode the flat 32.5 k course at
an average speed of 52.84 kph to take the lead away from Castroviejo--a time that
set the standard until the end.

Katusha team leader Joaquin Rodriguez finishes 3:47 behind
Martin. Not a good sign for the Tour De France hopeful.

...Froome. His struggles against the clock this year seem to
continue. El Pistolero did remark
before the race began that he is not yet in proper form, but I would never
count the powerful Spaniard out for top results at the Tour De France. He usually
climbs himself into top form for the last week of the Tour, when some
contenders start to fade..

Young Tasmanian talent, Rohan Dennis of Garmin-Sharp posts
the new second-fastest time at the finish, 47 seconds behind Tony Martin.

Current overall race leader David Veilleux of Team Europcar
is the last man to leave the start house. Despite being comfortable in the
chrono, his nearly two-minute lead will be a challenge to preserve.

Froome crosses the 2nd intermediate time check
still with the third-best time. Rohan Dennis follows, still holding the
second-best time.

Alberto Contador’s effort has collapsed upon him. His time
at the second check is only 50th best--already 1:40 behind Froome
and 2:20 slower than Martin. His Critérium du Dauphiné GC hopes are gone.

Richie Porte is closing in on his two-minute man, Contador,
as Chris Froome closes in on his preceding starter, Dominik Nerz. Porte barrels
past Contador on the road with four kilometers left to ride.

Riding consistently throughout the course, Chris Froome
finishes in third, trailing Tony Martin by 52 seconds, and Dennis by :05.

Contador finishes a full 2:44 down to Chris Froome, and 3:36
off the lead--probably much worse than most people expected.

Race leader Veilleux is working hard to preserve his lead:
at the second time check he still has it by five seconds. At the finish line
Veilleux concedes 3:52 to today’s winner, Tony Martin. That means that young
Rohan Dennis of Garmin-Sharp has taken the lead in the 2013 Critérium du
Dauphiné.
